My dear Mr. Grant
Your letter is at hand. There are only a few days remaining of the 57th. Congress and the pressure of business is very great. I am as anxious as anybody can be to secure the passage of the bills to which you refer. Had not the mistake been made of putting the transfer feature in rny bill, I would undoubtedly have gotten the
bill through when we had it up before. Unfortunatelv, some opposition was developed as to the whole proposition, which makes it more difficult now to secure favorable action. I am working on the matter and shall take a couple of the objecting members to the White House tonight to see if the President can help me out upon it. It looks discouraging at this session, owing to the shortness of the tune and the previous unfavorable action. Should we fail, I will push it at the opening of the next Congress.

My dear Mr. Grant
Your letter is at hand. There are only a few days remaining of the 57th. Congress and the pressure of business is very great. I am as anxious as anybody can be to secure the passage of the bills to which you refer. Had not the mistake been made of putting the transfer feature in rny bill, I would undoubtedly have gotten the
bill through when we had it up before. Unfortunatelv, some opposition was developed as to the whole proposition, which makes it more difficult now to secure favorable action. I am working on the matter and shall take a couple of the objecting members to the White House tonight to see if the President can help me out upon it. It looks discouraging at this session, owing to the shortness of the tune and the previous unfavorable action. Should we fail, I will push it at the opening of the next Congress.
